I'm a Risk and Compliance Officer at CosmoRemit, where I conduct AML/CTF compliance reviews, manage KYC/KYB due diligence for 8,000+ customer accounts, and monitor 10,000+ cross-border transactions each month.

I've supported internal and external audit readiness activities with zero major findings, maintained risk registers across five operational departments, and helped reduce fraudulent activity by 25%. I also translate regulatory requirements into clear guidance and training for operational teams.

Previously, at UBA Group, I reviewed and escalated 2,000+ fraud cases, tested IT general controls, and delivered root-cause analysis and risk-rated audit reports for management. At First Bank of Nigeria and PayAttitude, I supported internal controls, regulatory compliance, audit trails, user access management, and technical support.

My work is grounded in APAC compliance frameworks including the Australian Privacy Act 1988, AUSTRAC AML/CTF obligations, ISO 27001, ISO 31000, NIST CSF, and PCI-DSS. I build practical GRC artefacts, including risk registers, compliance gap analyses, and vendor risk assessments, with a focus on helping regulated teams operate confidently and responsibly.
